The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

This time, it was Chu Zhengying's turn to urge him: "Alright, Mr. Zheng, weren't you anxious to announce the position of Patriarch just now? This time, you can announce it in advance, and you won't have to make a trip tomorrow."

Elder Zheng said reluctantly, "No rush. The Chu and Zheng families are both in the same city. Even if I come again tomorrow, it's only a few steps away. It's not that much trouble."

"Okay, okay, tomorrow. Anyway, it's already a done deal for me to become the head of the Chu family!" Chu Zhengying said, looking at Chu Ying. "Chu Ying, this time it's really thanks to you. If you hadn't been so willful, I, your second uncle, wouldn't have gotten the He family's letter of support."

Seeing that her father lost his position as the head of the family because of her regretful engagement, Chu Ying felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

No, there must be some other remedy.

She gritted her teeth, stood up, and walked towards Mr. Zheng: "Mr. Zheng, can you show me those letters of support from my second uncle?"

"Of course no problem." After saying that, General Zheng handed the letter of support to Chu Ying.

Seeing her actions, Chu Zhengying couldn't help but sneer and said mockingly, "Chu Ying, you're not thinking of destroying the letter of support or something like that, are you? Don't dream on."

Chu Ying turned her head and glared at him: "I'm not as shameless as you."

After saying that, she lowered her head and carefully read the letter of support in her hand, unconsciously muttering: "He family... Li family... Zhao family... Cen family..."

When the last name was read, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen the dawn after clearing away the thick fog.

Cen family!

Chu Ying's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her fingers clenched tightly around the Cen family's letter of support. Wasn't the Cen family Cen Yizhi's family?

After saying that, Chu Ying quickly ran to Cen Yizi with the letter of support: "Look! This is the Cen family's letter of support!"

Seeing this, Chu Zhengying was very puzzled: "Yes, this is the Cen family's letter of support, it's genuine, but why are you so excited?"

"I--" Chu Ying was about to say something, but she met Jiang Yingxue's gaze.

Yingxue had said that things should be done in secrecy. Although Cen Yizhi was the young master of the Cen family, it was still unknown whether the master would be willing to change his mind at the last minute and issue a letter of support.

She swallowed and looked up at Chu Zhengying: "Nothing, anyway, today is not the last day, and you are not the official head of the family yet."

Chu Zhengying sneered, "You won't cry until you see the coffin, but it doesn't matter. I've endured it all these years, so even if I wait for one more day, the first thing I'll do when I become the head of the family is to kick you out and give the He family an explanation!"

"Give the He family an explanation?" Chu Ying chuckled. "No wonder the He family couldn't wait to send you a letter of support. So you're asking me to leave the Chu family as a condition?"

"That's right." Chu Zhengying said, "This is one of the conditions for the He family to support me."

Chu Zhenghong was furious when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and said, "Chu Zhengying, are you still a human being? This is your niece! You actually want to kick her out of the house for an outsider?!"

Chu Zhengying's expression remained unchanged, with that indifferent smile still on his face: "As long as we can get the He family's letter of support, what does it matter if we kick her out? It's all because she's ignorant. A girl who breaks off the engagement without the family's consent doesn't even know her place."

After saying that, Chu Zhengying looked at Chu Ying and said, "But don't worry, you and your friends from your sect can still sleep at the Chu family's house tonight. But tomorrow, there will be no place for you to stay here, so you must cherish it."

"No need." Chu Ying suppressed her inner anger and said coldly, "I dare not stay here tonight. A despicable, sinister and cunning person like you might even have promised the He family to kill me. If I stay here tonight, you might kill me."

Chu Zhengying immediately curled up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile, his eyes full of sarcasm: "Oh, so you have such a backbone? Then don't sleep in the house, go sleep on the street."

"That's outrageous!" Old Zheng, an outsider, couldn't stand it any longer. "Chu Zhengying! There's no room for you in the Chu Mansion, but there is plenty in my Zheng Family! Chu Ying, if you don't want to stay here tonight, then you and your friend can leave with me."

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng!" Chu Ying's eyes lit up. It just so happened that the main purpose of coming to Qihong City this time was to find Mr. Zheng to make a sword for the eldest brother. This time, she really killed two birds with one stone.

After saying that, Chu Ying ran to Chu Zhenghong and whispered a few words in his ear. When Chu Zhenghong heard it, his expression suddenly became much more serious.

"Is this true? Are you sure?"

Chu Ying whispered, "I'm not entirely sure, but I'll try my best. Anyway, Dad, get a good rest tonight and take good care of yourself. We'll be back tomorrow."

"Okay." Chu Zhenghong nodded.

So the group quickly turned to the Zheng family.

It was almost evening. On the streets of Qihong City, the sound of carriage wheels echoed on the cobblestone roads. The lights gradually lit up, and the hustle and bustle of the streets were gradually swallowed up by the night.

The Zheng family's mansion is located on a busy street in the city. Their family has been engaged in weapon cultivation for generations and possesses considerable wealth and status. They have accumulated considerable income from the sale of weapons alone. Therefore, this mansion appears to be more magnificent than the Chu family's in terms of grandeur, scale, and exquisite decoration.

After bringing the person into the mansion, he immediately called the housekeeper and servants, and then said to Chu Ying, "Come Chu Ying, you and your friends will stay in the Lanting Courtyard in the east tonight. There are several rooms there. I will send two maids to you. Just tell the servants to do anything you need. You can stay as long as you like."

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng..." After saying that, Chu Ying felt a lump in her throat and lowered her head.

"Alas, child, I have watched you grow up. You are the one that Old Chu cares about the most among all his descendants. If Old Chu knew that his ruthless second son wanted to drive you out in order to seize the position of head of the family, he would definitely not let him go! In short, you can rest assured to stay with me."

After saying this, Elder Zheng patted Chu Ying on the shoulder and looked at the other members of the Xianyun Sect: "I believe you are all disciples of the Xianyun Sect. I wonder which peak you are from?"

They exchanged a tacit glance, and finally Yan Chuan spoke first: "In response to Mr. Zheng, we are all disciples of the First Peak, and our master is Wan Jinan."

"Wan Jinan!?" Upon hearing this name, Mr. Zheng was obviously stunned.

Chu Ying looked at Mr. Zheng's expression and suddenly felt guilty and asked, "Mr. Zheng, what happened to my master?"

"Oh, following a master like this is really unfair to you little guys. I guess you have no food to eat in the sect with him, right? Well, I'll treat you tonight and take you out for a good meal!"
